At the end of 2015 there were 1,153 power stations in Mexico, with a total generating capacity of 68,044 MW (4% more than in 2012). The CFE accounted for 81% of capacity. Most of the electricity (73%) was generated in fossil fuel burning stations. However, it is possible to observe a certain decrease in the use of fuel oil, which is being replaced by natural gas and clean and renewable energies.

The objectives of tourism policy, as listed in the Sectoral Programme for Tourism 2013 2018, are to strengthen the range of tourism products and promote new products and non traditional tourism. To achieve these objectives, investment in the sector has been increased. For example, according to the authorities, the accommodation available rose from 661,000 rooms in 2012 to 737,000 in 2015. Progress has also been made in providing vocational training for the sector, to improve the quality of the services offered, and more than 30,000 certificates and accreditations have been issued to providers of tourism services. In addition, tourism products have been developed by destination. The Programme reflects the fact that sustainable development and social inclusion are important factors that must be taken into account in developing any policy for the tourism sector.
